Aaron Weller, Director of Crucial Paradigm noted, ”Today’s upgrades to our reseller plans demonstrate our continuing commitment to staying at the leading edge of the industry, both in terms of value and technology. We have been able to build a strong reseller customer base by continually bolstering our plans to meet the ever-evolving requirements of Internet businesses. This is an important component of remaining strong in the hyper competitive hosting market.”

With the upgrades, both prospective and existing customers now receive 50% more storage space and monthly bandwidth, as well as an advanced data protection service storing at least seven secure backups at all times. Resellers also receive a free license of the WHMCS billing and management system, valued at $249.95. The company’s pricing structure did not change with the plan upgrades.

Reseller hosting from Crucial Paradigm starts at $19.95 per month, now including 15,000MB of RAID-protected data storage and 300GB of monthly bandwidth. All plans also feature unlimited domains, 24/7 technical support, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. A complete list of features is available on the company’s web site.

Last month, Crucial Paradigm released plans to adopt intiatives in order to make its entire line of hosting solutions greener, to assist in the cessation of the rise of carbon emissions into the Earth’s atmosphere. The company originally began to plan its green, or environmentally friendly, hosting initiative in July, 2007. Since then, the company has explored and implemented a series of changes and policies designed to better protect the environment. It now runs a completely paperless office, at night shuts down a series of nonessential systems to save electricity, and minimizes vehicle usage.

With the assistance of Carbon Neutral, Crucial Paradigm Australia has begun to offset unavoidable carbon emissions by planting trees in Coomberdale, Australia. So far over 160 trees have been planted under the program, offsetting 28 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The trees help preserve wildlife and recapture atmospheric CO2, which is then converted into oxygen.

To determine the number of trees to be planted, Crucial Paradigm Australia uses a carbon-emissions calculator. It includes various sources of emissions, such as electricity usage, staff emissions, vehicles and general running of the office. Additionally, the company will plant one tree for every new hosting account signed up.

Founded in 2003, Crucial Paradigm operates in multiple locations around the world. The privately-owned, debt-free company offers a wide range of hosting solutions from Basic Web Hosting to Reseller Hosting, Virtual Dedicated Servers, Dedicated Servers and High Traffic Clusters, custom designed, based on each client’s individual requirements.
